A year after the deadliest food-borne illness outbreak in modern history, cantaloupe is again being blamed for deaths. This time, though, the suspected melons were grown in Indiana, not Colorado.

Health officials in Indiana and Kentucky told the Associated Press they are investigating farms, distributors and retailers after the salmonella poisonings. The outbreak, linked to cantaloupe from southwestern Indiana, has killed two and sickened at least 150 people nationwide.

Indiana residents were told today to throw out melons purchased since July 7.

It’s bad news for cantaloupe growers, who are trying to improve the fruit’s reputation after the fatal outbreak last year connected to a farm in Colorado. More than 30 people were killed by those cantaloupes, which were contaminated with listeria bacteria.
